In a thrilling match on away turf, APR FC emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Marine FC in the Rwanda Premier League. This historic day also marked the official unveiling of APR FC’s two newest signings, Denis Omedi and Hakim Kiwanuka. Both players were in the stands to cheer on their new team and witnessed a dramatic game that showcased APR FC's determination and resilience.

The game started with both teams displaying impressive skill and tactical discipline. Marine FC scored first and  held their ground until the 59th minute when Kwitonda Alain Baca equalized for APR FC with a stunning goal. Marine FC, however, tried to hold on, raising tensions and giving the home crowd hope for at least a draw.

But APR FC had other plans. In the dying moments of injury time (90+5), Ruboneka Bosco scored the decisive goal, securing a hard-fought victory for APR FC and leaving Marine FC fans in despair.

The match was more than just a victory on the pitch. It was also the first opportunity for APR FC’s latest acquisitions, Denis Omedi and Hakim Kiwanuka, to experience the club’s fighting spirit. The two wingers were unveiled earlier in the day, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their football careers.

Omedi, previously a star player at Kitara FC in Uganda, joins APR FC with an impressive reputation. Known for his pace, creativity, and clinical crosses, Omedi was a key player in Kitara’s successes. His ability to break through defenses and deliver pinpoint assists will undoubtedly add depth to APR FC’s attacking options.

Kiwanuka, on the other hand, brings his wealth of experience from SC Villa, one of Uganda's most iconic football clubs. As a winger, Kiwanuka is celebrated for his agility, ball control, and knack for scoring crucial goals. His addition to APR FC strengthens the team’s ability to attack from the flanks.

The APR FC fanbase welcomed the two players with enthusiasm, recognizing the potential impact they bring to the team. The club took to social media to officially announce their arrival, stating: "Join us in welcoming Denis Omedi and Hakim Kiwanuka to APR FC. Welcome aboard the Lion’s Den!"

The announcement was met with an outpouring of support, with fans expressing excitement about seeing the two wingers in action.
